Endolaparoscopic palliation of pancreatic cancer

J Mouiel et al. Surg Laparosc Endosc. 1992 Sep.

Abstract

Two patients with advanced pancreatic cancer were palliated for both duodenal and biliary obstruction without laparotomy. The techniques of endoscopic biliary stent and laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy are described. This combination achieved rapid palliation with minimum morbidity. Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and a limited life expectancy benefit greatly from the shortened hospital stay and convalescence this manner of treatment offers.
